Have We Forgot About the Doctrine of Repentance?
Without doctrine, we are at risk of declaring all things right and doing what is right in our own eyes (Judges 17:6; 21:25) I’ve been reading a great piece entitled “The Doctrine of Repentance” by puritan preacher Thomas Watson (1620-1686). I recommend it to you to read and consider his arguments from Scripture. From section…
Eat Mor Chikin!
Here are some photos from the Grand Opening (events) of the Twin Falls, Chick-fil-A on January 10, 2013! The overall experience was fun. For me this was more than a business opening.

No Harmony There
I’m asked upon occasion about the decision I led Eastside Baptist through a few years ago as a church to repent and cease from age segregation of the ministries.

Yet the Lord has led a sweet couple (who do not live in Twin Falls or Idaho) to provide this ministry. Since Eastside began broadcasting with Sermon Audio…
Visited by Evil
This morning at Eastside Baptist Church, Twin Falls, Idaho. A look at Malachi 2:17. You have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet you say, “How have we wearied Him?” In that you say, “Everyone who does evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and He delights in them,” or, “Where is the…

Don’t forget that there are archived posts going all the way back to 2006 of theBridge HERE. I will be beginning new recordings of the book of Proverbs to be ready by January 1, 2013 and new recording of my Haiti Journal by February 2013.
Weekly Prayer Guide
“Devote Yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving; praying at the same time for us as well, that God will open up to us a door for the word, so that we may speak for the the mystery of Christ, for which I have also been imprisoned; that I may…
